More public safety coverage

COCOA, Fla. —A disabled veteran in Cocoa said he opened his door to a woman he met online when two men who were with her barged in and attacked him, according to our NDN news partner WFTV in Orlando.

The victim suffered cuts and bruises from the attack and police said his older brother, James Sergeant, 30, is still hospitalized from the beating he took after trying to help his brother.

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office told WFTV one of the men responsible has been identified as 39-year-old Curtis Andrew Long, who was booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of armed home invasion robbery and battery.

The sheriff's office said the case started with an online dating site when 27-year-old Benjamin Sergeant made a date to meet a woman at his Cocoa home on Friday. Investigators said the woman brought two men with her, who went into the home and beat the disabled veteran and his service dog.
